My plan is to encode from a machine in our head office to 20 shops around the country. Showing ads interviews slideshows etc. From a bit of homework I am hoping to go from pc to ip encoder to shops but am afraid of the bandwidth needs. What service can I use to upload and stream to my 20 shops?
How would you do this? Any reply is appreciated.
They have apps that will do this, mind you for a fee. I used one on a mac when i worked at a large resort. I would make ads show up every 15 seconds, the amount of local businesses that advertised payed for the program. I will see if i can find it for you, been a few years
you see for things like this multicasting is the ideal way, but unless you have IPv6 "end to end" then you can use alternative likes P2P streaming, now I don't know if there open source P2P video streaming servers, but there are certainly paid ones:
Why not use Youtube? Set the channel to private and have the shops load it up.
